Lenzing: Nachhaltige Geotextilien als Gletscherschutz und Jacke

Die Lenzing Gruppe hat ein innovatives Konzept geschaffen, das zum nachhaltigen Schutz unserer Gletscher beiträgt und gleichzeitig Inspiration für kollektives Handeln im Sinne nachhaltiger Praktiken und einer Kreislaufwirtschaft in der Textil- und Vliesstoffindustrie ist. Das Konzept, das von dem italienischen Künstler Michelangelo Pistoletto in Szene gesetzt wurde, wurde am 21. März 2024, im Rahmen der Feierlichkeiten zum Internationalen Tag des Waldes, im Palais des Nations, dem Sitz des Büros der Vereinten Nationen in Genf (UNOG), präsentiert.

Das Abschmelzen der Gletscher wird durch die globale Erderwärmung stark negativ beeinflusst. Mithilfe von Geotextilien werden Eis und Schnee geschützt. Die dafür verwendeten Vliese bestehen jedoch aus erdölbasierten Fasern, durch die Mikroplastik über die Bäche ins Tal und durch kleine Organismen und Tierchen in die Nahrungskette gelangen kann. Vliese aus cellulosischen LENZING™ Fasern, die am Ende ihres Lebenszyklus biologisch abbaubar sind und gänzlich recycelt werden können, sind die nachhaltige Lösung für dieses Problem. Dies wurde im Rahmen einer Studie der Universität Innsbruck und der österreichischen Gletscherbahnbetreiber am Stubaier Gletscher in Tirol (Österreich) bestätigt.

Bei einem Feldversuch am Stubaier Gletscher wurde die Abdeckung eines kleinen Bereichs mit dem neuen Material aus LENZING™ Fasern erstmals getestet. Vier Meter Eismasse konnte vor der Schmelze bewahrt werden. 2023 wurde das Pilotprojekt erfolgreich auf alle touristisch genutzten österreichischen Gletscher ausgeweitet.

Das Projekt wurde im Vorjahr außerdem mit dem ersten Platz des Schweizer BIO TOP Awards für Holz- und Materialinnovationen ausgezeichnet.

Lenzing nimmt dieses Innovationsprojekt zum Anlass, um eine Inspiration für gemeinsames Handeln im Sinne nachhaltiger Praktiken und einer Kreislaufwirtschaft in der Textil- und Vliesstoffindustrie zu schaffen. Gemeinsam mit einem Netzwerk von innovativen Partnern arbeitet Lenzing daran, Geotextilien zu neuen Textilfasern zu verarbeiten und ihnen ein zweites Leben als Kleidungsstück zu geben. Die Verwendung von Geotextilien ist in der Regel auf zwei Jahre begrenzt, danach werden die Vliesstoffe entsorgt. In der ersten Phase des Pilotprojekts wurde das Recycling von Vliesstoffen für Geotextilien erfolgreich getestet und aus den wiedergewonnen Fasern eine modische „Glacier Jacket (dt. Gletscherjacke)“ hergestellt. Neben Lenzing gehören Marchi & Fildi Spa, ein Spezialist auf dem Gebiet des mechanischen Recyclings, der Hersteller von Denimstoffen Candiani Denim und das Modestudio Blue of a Kind dem Netzwerk an.

Archroma: Launch of AVITERA® SE GENERATION NEXT

Archroma has made its AVITERA® SE technology accessible to more brands and mills with the launch of AVITERA® SE GENERATION NEXT for more cost-effective sustainable dyeing of cellulosic fibers and blends.

With an improved cost-to-performance ratio for new dark and extra-dark shades, the AVITERA® SE GENERATION NEXT range helps mills produce differentiated end articles that comply with the environmental requirements of leading brands and retailers while increasing yield, improving productivity and reducing processing costs.

With high-speed low-temperature wash-off, high process reliability and great reproducibility, AVITERA® SE Generation Next allows mills to achieve water and energy savings of up to 50% and to slash CO2 emissions and effluent discharge by up to 50% as well. It can also increase mill output by up to 25% or more. The dyes are free from arylamines, including PCA[1], and offer fastness properties, retaining their colors through repeated home laundering and exposure to light, perspiration and chlorine.

Three new dark colors have been added to the AVITERA® SE range:

BEZAKTIV ONE: New Reactive dyes range by CHT

  • Reactive dyes for water and energy saving dye processes with significantly shortened process time

BEZAKTIV ONE covers a broad color spectrum with tinctorial very strong dyes. This enables a cost-efficient dye process with significantly less dye and salt. The excellent wash-off behavior allows short rinse cycles at lower temperatures and therefore offers further ecological and economic advantages. The dyes are particularly suitable for durable textiles due to their good multiple wash fastness.

Cellulosic fibers are often dyed with reactive dyes, as these are commercially available in a wide range of colors that result in dyeings with high wash fastness. However, reactive dyeings require a lot of water due to the necessary rinsing processes. Due to increased ecological requirements, the development of energy and water saving processes is not just a trend, but rather a core prerequisite for new dyes.

A minimal number of rinsing baths and generally lower temperatures for dye exhaust, rinsing and soaping contribute to an overall efficient water and energy saving dyeing processes.

A minimal number of rinsing baths and generally lower temperatures for dye exhaust, rinsing and soaping contribute to an overall efficient water and energy saving dyeing processes.

BEZAKTIV ONE dyes can be dyed, rinsed and soaped between 40 and 60 °C. Therefore, the BEZAKTIV ONE exhaust dyeing process is significantly shorter compared to conventional reactive dyeing processes, where temperatures between 60 and 98 °C are required. This advantage means savings in process time and higher productivity for the textile dyer.

The advantages become particularly clear when dyeing medium to dark shades with the BEZAKTIV ONE process. Due to the high fixation level in combination with good color build-up dark shades can be matched with lower dye concentrations of BEZAKTIV ONE than with conventional bifunctional reactive dyes. The addition of the auxiliary COTOBLANC SEL in the second soap bath has an additional positive effect, so that a washing process with low water and energy consumption generates excellent wet fastness properties on the textile.
